Hi, I’m Ronald Howard, a sales professional and business development representative with years of experience spanning in healthcare, medical device sales, insurance sales, and client relationship management. My career has been driven by a passion for fostering meaningful client relationships, implementing effective sales strategies, and contributing to the substantial growth of every organization I've been a part of.My educational journey began at Ellender Memorial High School in Houma, LA, laying the foundation for my commitment to excellence and leadership. Furthering my education, I served in the United States Navy as a Hospital (FMF) Corpsman and pursued specialized training in Surgical Orthopedics at the Military School of Health Science. My dedication to lifelong learning led me to the University of Maryland Global Campus, where I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Non-Profit/Public/Organizational Management. In December 2023, I expanded my expertise by completing a Tech Sales Bootcamp, specializing in Sales Development in the Tech Sales Space, readying myself for the evolving demands of the digital age.Professionally, my journey started in the military, where I served as a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy and later as an Orthopedic Technician with an Air Force contractor. These roles honed my abilities in emergency response, medical procedure training, and healthcare management, instilling in me a profound sense of discipline, teamwork, and attention to detail.Transitioning to the civilian sector, I embarked on a career in sales, where my background in healthcare proved invaluable. As a Medical Device Sales Representative, I managed key client relationships, negotiated distribution agreements, and led marketing campaigns that enhanced brand visibility. My tenure with AssuranceIQ as a Medicare Sales Representative and later with Family First Life solidified my expertise in insurance sales, emphasizing client needs assessments and strategic sales initiatives that significantly boosted policy enrollments and revenue.My skills are further underscored by my proficiency in various sales methodologies (Prospecting, Cadence, SPIN, BANT) and tools (Salesforce CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesloft, Zoominfo), coupled with an adeptness in cold emailing, cold calling, and LinkedIn outreach. I'm now seeking to leverage my extensive experience and skills in a challenging Business Development Representative role, aiming to drive sustainable growth and forge lasting relationships in my next professional chapter.
